Section 17 The Grief of the Heart (I)
Historically, there are not many examples of the marshal personally leading the ship to guide the triumphant fleet back to port. Although on the surface it is just a courtesy, in reality, it is one of the greatest honors that any fleet can receive. After hundreds of years of development, or hundreds of years of war, any officer and soldier of the Imperial Navy valued honor above everything else, even more than the lives of soldiers.
When the "Taizu" docked at the wharf, the officers and men who came to greet the fleet, as well as the families of the officers and men, boiled, and almost the entire port turned into a sea voyage of joy, laughter, and flowers. Many of the families of the officers and men of the fleet were specially brought to Zhoushan to greet their triumphant heroes and relatives who had returned safely.
At this time, Tan Renhao had already found that among the crowd who came to greet their relatives, some people were very disappointed, and they were still waiting for something, waiting for the battleship that did not return, waiting for their relatives to appear. Tan Renhao knew that these people were all relatives of the officers and men of the "Taizong" aircraft carrier. When the last ship entered the harbor, the faces of the men suddenly became disappointed, and then they became very sad. At this time, Tan Renhao felt very guilty, although most of the officers and men on the "Taizong" had been withdrawn, there were still hundreds of officers and men who remained on the aircraft carrier forever, on the bottom of the Ryukyu Trench, which was several thousand meters deep.
Lei Shaoqing felt the change in Tan Renhao's mood, he wanted to persuade this friend, but he didn't know what to say. Suddenly, he saw a figure in the crowd and quickly pulled Tan Renhao. "Renhao, look who that is."
Tan Renhao was startled, his eyes moved away from the grieving military families, and then looked in the direction pointed by Lei Shaoqing. On the dock, Liao Yingyu was struggling to squeeze out of the crowd and head towards the gangway where the aircraft carrier was lowering.
"Let her come up, she's the chief of staff...... Friend! Hao Dongjue immediately shouted loudly to the Marine officer guarding the gangway, but the noise was so loud that his voice could not reach the ears of the Marine officer at all.
As a result, Liao Yingyu was stopped by the iron-faced and selfless officer. However, at this time, Chang Jianxin had already run over, and his actions were more active. He rushed directly over the gangway, called the Marine officer aside to say a word, and then took Liao Yingyu to board the aircraft carrier.
"Why are you still stunned, are you waiting for someone else to come up?" Lei Shaoqing pushed Tan Renhao next to him.
Tan Renhao laughed, and then said to Lei Shaoqing: "Then wait for you to help me arrange the departure from the ship." ”
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it, you go and see your sweetheart, don't delay the time!"
Tan Renhao immediately left the gangway outside the ship island and quickly came to the flight deck below, and at this time, Chang Jiexin also took Liao Yingyu to the flight deck.
"What a big battleship!" Liao Yingyu couldn't help but sigh in surprise, but when she saw Tan Renhao walking towards her, she immediately put the matter of the battleship behind her and immediately rushed forward.
In front of everyone's eyes, Liao Yingyu hugged Tan Renhao at once, and then kissed Tan Renhao on the face.
"So many people, don't be so affectionate, everyone is looking at us!" Tan Renhao had a bitter feeling of not being able to smile, he smiled awkwardly at Chang Jianxin opposite, but Chang Jianxin immediately turned around and pretended not to see anything.
It is true that the officers and men on the battleship are looking at their chief of staff, but for these young officers and men, who often spend months at sea, let alone see a woman, even a female seagull, they are now not concerned with the chief of staff who led them to victory, but on the beautiful girl.
"I said, how can this guy Ren Hao be so lucky!" Hao Dongjue also had no prejudice against Liao Yingyu at this time, he even said very objectively, "So a flower is inserted in cow dung, how to say, Miss Liao is also one of the best beauties in our navy, and you see that Ren Hao's kid, isn't it the kind that can't be more ordinary?" ”
Lei Shaoqing laughed and said, "Don't be jealous, you kid, you don't have your share here, you have the ability, go chase one yourself?" ”
Hao Dongjue glanced at Lei Shaoqing. "Why, did you already get it?"
Lei Shaoqing laughed a little uncontrollably, he had already been a nurse, and he was still communicating frequently. Sure enough, just when Tan Renhao and Liao Yingyu finished talking about the pain of lovesickness, Liao Yingyu pulled Tan Renhao and went to pick up another girl on the dock to the battleship.
"Mom, why is she here too!" Lei Shaoqing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little bigger.
Hao Dongjue glanced at Lei Shaoqing a little puzzled, but he immediately understood, and now it was time for him to laugh. "Shaoqing, it seems that half of what Ren Hao said before was true!"
"You kid talk nonsense again, be careful that I beat you!" Lei Shaoqing waved his fist at Hao Dongjue, and quickly rushed down the ship island and came to the flight deck.
What Liao Yingyu brought up was the female nurse Lei Shaoqing knew at the graduation ball, her name was Tang Xiujuan, and she was Liao Yingyu's classmate. Since then, the two have been exchanging letters, and the relationship has improved a lot. This time, Tang Xiujuan heard that the First Task Force had won a big victory, and she happened to come to Zhoushan Hospital for an internship, so she followed Liao Yingyu to the dock. Judging from her appearance, Tang Xiujuan can be regarded as an upper-middle level, and the only drawback is that there are a little more freckles on her face, which is probably directly related to the fact that she often ate high-protein foods when she was young. If she is placed next to someone else, many people may think that she is a beauty, but standing next to Liao Yingyu is a bit like a chicken and a phoenix comparing their height.
"Shaoqing, you have to thank me this time, no matter how you say it, I brought Xiaojuan to see you." Liao Yingyu's personality hasn't changed much, "How about it, shouldn't you invite us to dinner?" ”
"This ......" Lei Shaoqing smiled awkwardly, "What is the matter of having a meal, as long as everyone is happy." ”
"Forget it, forget it, if we eat his meal today, I'm afraid we won't be able to live in peace for several days." Tan Renhao laughed, "Today I have a treat, everyone goes to the best restaurant, and you can order whatever you want!" ”
Everyone laughed, but they couldn't get out yet, at least until the officers and men of the fleet had been arranged, and the maintenance arrangements for the battleship had been negotiated with the people of the port command.
